devices. It allows operators and engineers to easily control and monitor the streams and channels through the

devices in Cisco IP headend architectures.

Integrated with the ROSA Network Management System (ROSA NMS) and ROSA Element
Management System (ROSA EM)

The ROSA VSM system can optionally be deployed together with the ROSA NMS system to leverage the complete

feature set of the ROSA Suite Management Software. ROSA NMS supports a broad range of devices for alarms,

configuration, and redundancy management control. Each device supported in the ROSA NMS layer is

automatically supported in the ROSA VSM for device alarming and access to the graphical user interface (GUI) or

other ROSA NMS GUI controls.

The ROSA EM solves the device redundancy in the Acquisition and Origination type video processing platform,

such as the Cisco Reference Architecture of the D9036

– DCM – Statmux Compression System.

System Description

The ROSA VSM system allows you to easily map all monitored devices into the ROSA VSM topology views. This

provides a clear, easy-to-use, and intuitive user interface. The ROSA VSM Topology Manager allows graphical

creation and set-up of the equipment topology, providing an easy interface to select devices from the inventory.

The Topology Manager provides an immediate overview of the device alarms present on the topology, allowing the

user to visually correlate alarms on channels that are present on the platform. The ROSA VSM excels in its support

for various devices and service redundancy through its close interaction with the underlying ROSA NMS and

ROSA EM system.

Service Configuration and Lineup Management is an application used by service providers and operators that

manage linear-live content that needs to be processed in order to fit into the appropriate delivery network. Through

lifetime management of the content, operators perform frequent configurations and re-configurations of multiple

devices throughout their video processing platforms.

ROSA VSE Lineup Manager and Bandwidth Manager are tools that help solve both the engineering and

operational complexity. These tools help operators to perform quick service changes and modification, and

automate changes through scheduling. The tools also provides the ability to prepare service configurations offiline,

without accessing each individual device GUI, eliminating the need for additional training.

ROSA VSM provides premium support for Cisco Reference Architecture (Blueprint designs). For example, Cisco

D9036-based Video Compression Platform, Encoder, Statmus, and DCM Service Level Configuration

Management.

Event (or Session) management is an application typically used by operators to manage live content transported

from one location to another or other multiple locations. Managing this type of application, also called Contribution

Management, allows the operators and engineers to focus on service definitions, rather than opening each

individual device user interface.

The definition and configuration of the services over the system topology is provided by the ROSA VSM Session

Builder and Event Manager. This allows the user to configure devices for the configured topology. For each event

(or session) on the platform, you can configure service settings over the Device Configuration Profiles.

Each event that is defined on the platform can be activated by the user or scheduled over the ROSA VSM Event

Scheduler.
